I would argue that you have presented a chicken and egg problem. As a business owner I am reluctant to offer a new entrant the best pay “that the market can offer”. Working conditions - a company can only offer the best within their means. I know that good faith must comes from both sides, and a company has to offer something worthwile in return. Like any type of relationship, its a two way street. But a sense of entitlement firstly, and then maybe if the company is lucky that the employee will care and take responsibility - that is a relationship one better not enter from the onset, if it can be detected ahead of time. Its just the wrong value set. I would also add that a company that displays the same kind of entitlement towards its workers, is also not worth an employee’s further attention.
